Reader thenerdscribe submitted a desktop to our #featured-desktop forum that caught our eye, mostly because its minimalism and clean look, and also because it's a great use of GeekTool on the Mac that we haven't seen in a while.

The wallpaper is custom—pretty much thenerdscribe's name in a grey dot on a white background, so you could replace that with whatever you like, but the rest of the layout is clean, label-less, and easy to enjoy even if you have windows open and work to do. Here's what you'll need to tweak your Mac to look the same way:

thenerdscribe says that the icons he used are available at DeviantArt, but I'd say they look standard enough to me—feel free to grab a custom icon pack to switch them out though. If you have trouble with GeekTool or the geeklets for the time and date or the system monitoring displays, check out our guide to GeekTool for some tips, or head into our featured desktop thread to ask your questions.

This is the first Mac desktop in a while, so we can always use more of those. Linux desktops are more than welcome too! Still, we know Rainmeter is the king, so don't shy away from submitting your Windows desktops just because we get a lot of them. Whatever you choose to use, please include a description of how you made your desktop. Without that, we can't tell others how to make it for themselves so they can be featured too!
